The footsteps outside are getting closer and closer, and Royal Army's soldiers have begun to knock on the door.
"Get rid of these flies first."
Lu Chongwei snorted coldly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He didn't even wait for the soldiers to rush in. He stepped forward, opened the door and walked out.
On the street outside the house, nearly a hundred Royal Army soldiers had already set up a formation, with more than a dozen magic spears pointing at the gate.
"Come out and die! Traitor!"
The leading captain shouted loudly, his eyes full of enthusiasm for meritorious service.
Lu Chongwei stood at the door, looking at the dense crowd in front of him, and slowly clenched his right hand into a fist.
"It's so noisy."
He didn't make any fancy moves, he just punched forward calmly.
"Boom--!!!"
The terrifying fist pressure, enough to cut through the air, erupted from between Lu Chongwei's fingers.
The ground of the entire street shook violently at this moment, and the hard bluestone slabs were overturned like a wave.
The nearly one hundred Royal Army soldiers didn't even have time to scream. They all flew out neatly as if they were hit head-on by a train traveling at full speed.
"Whoaaah!"
The sounds of broken armor and the sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground were intertwined.
Just one punch.
Nearly a hundred elite Royal Army soldiers, all of whom had lost their combat effectiveness, were hanging in a mess on rooftops and tree branches in the distance.
The originally noisy streets soon fell into deathly silence.
Standing in the room, Edolas Lucy was completely dumbfounded.
Her usually cold little face was now filled with fear, and her mouth was wide open and did not close for a long time.
"This... is this the magic of Earth-land?"
She swallowed, her voice trembling.
"Are you kidding... this is not a power that humans can possess at all!"
She originally thought that Earth-land Mage, which had lost its magic power, was a lamb to be slaughtered.
But Lu Chongwei's punch directly shattered her worldview into pieces.
Lu Chongwei turned around, patted the non-existent dust on his hands, and walked back to the house.
"Okay, it's safe for now. Find a place to rest."
Everyone came to a hidden basement deep in the house.
Earth-land's Lucy sat down on the wooden box and patted his chest carelessly.
"Huh, I was really scared to death just now. If Horologium Celestial Spirit hadn't protected me, I would have turned into Magic Crystal."
Wendy came over curiously and asked in a low voice.
"Sister Lucy, how did you get here?"
Lucy took out an exquisite badge from his arms and said with emotion.
"Mystogan sent me here. He said something serious is happening here and asked me to come and help."
She took out another empty small bottle from her pocket and shook it at Lu Chongwei.
"And he also gave me a pill called X-Ball. After taking it, I can use magic freely in this world."
Natsu When he heard the word pill, his whole body jumped up as if he was electrocuted.
His originally dim eyes soon burst into intense light, and he grabbed Lucy's shoulders and shook them desperately.
"Lucy! Where are the pills! Give me one quickly! I want to breathe fire! I want to fight!"
Lucy was shaken so dizzy that she spread her hands helplessly.
"It's gone. Mystogan gave me one and I've already eaten it."
Natsu's movements stopped.
His face, filled with anticipation, quickly collapsed in just one second.
"It's a lie..."
Natsu squatted back in the corner decadently again, his whole person exuding a strong negative energy.
"Why... why didn't I..."
Lu Chongwei looked at Natsu's useless look and shook his head helplessly.
He turned his head and looked at Nancy on his shoulder.
"Nancy, this is Lucy, our companion."
Nancy twitched its golden ears and looked curiously at the girl who looked exactly like Edolas Lucy.
"Hello, I am Nancy."
Lucy looked at Nancy, her eyes quickly lit up, she hugged Nancy into her arms, and rubbed the golden fluff excitedly.
"Wow! What a cute cat! And it's golden!"
Nancy was embarrassed by the rubbing, and his little paws scratched uneasily in Lucy's arms.
Everyone simply rested for a while and prepared to continue their journey to the royal capital.
Edolas's Lucy looked at this group of people, his eyes still full of worry.
"Hey, do you really want to go to the royal capital?"
She held the whip and her tone became serious.
"Those were just ordinary patrols. There are Magic War Units in the capital, and every captain there has a terrifying magic weapon. Especially that Erza·Knightwalker, she killed more Mages than you have ever seen!"
Earth-land's Lucy heard this, but showed no fear.
On the contrary, she suddenly puffed up her chest, and her whole body quickly expanded as if inflated.
She put her hands on her hips and pointed at herself, her face full of flamboyant confidence.
"Hmph, Edolas's Lucy, you underestimate us!"
Lucy shook her long golden hair and showed a stinky smile.
"Natsu and Wendy are useless now, but don't forget, I have magic power!"
She patted Celestial Spirit Key on her waist, and her eyes shone with the light of a singing serf.
"I am now the second strongest Mage in the Fairy Tail guild! The rest of the battle will all be taken care of by me!"
The flickering candlelight stretched the shadows in the basement extremely long, and there was an old musty smell in the air.
Edolas's Lucy Ashley leaned against the cold stone wall, playing with the spiked whip in her hand.
Her eyes turned again and again on Natsu and Lu Chongwei, and finally settled on the face of Natsu, who was grinning heartlessly.
"Hey, I really don't understand."
Lucy·Ashley spoke, her voice was particularly abrupt in the silent basement.
Natsu was busy stuffing the last piece of hard dry bread into his mouth. He stopped when he heard this and raised his head blankly.
"Ah? What do you understand?"
Lucy·Ashley straightened up, her eyes filled with extremely strong doubts and even sarcasm.
"You don't even have magic power now, and you are like cubs with their teeth pulled out in this world. In front of you are the regular army of the kingdom, Magic War Unit with terrifying magic weapons, and even that Fairy Hunter Erza is waiting for you."
She paused and pointed to the oppressive sky above her head.
"Why can you still laugh when you know that there are many difficulties and that there is a chance that you will be caught and treated as magic waste? Are you... really not afraid of death?"
Natsu swallowed the bread in his mouth and blurted it out without even thinking about it.
"Afraid of death? Who cares about that kind of thing!"
